From: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...-Patrice-Evra-tells-Samir-Nasri-join-him.html Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has told his France team-mate Samir Nasri to move to Old Trafford and not rivals Manchester City if he values success above money. Nasri's future remains in the balance as he decides between signing a new deal at Arsenal and leaving the Emirates, with United and City leading the chase for the 24-year-old midfielder. But despite admitting that he came close to quitting United a year ago, Evra confirmed that he has spoken to Nasri and urged him to join the Barclays Premier League champions if he wants to become one of the best players in the world. Sir Alex Ferguson said earlier this month that he fears Nasri is destined to join another club - widely believed to be City - but Evra is refusing to give up hope that he will choose United instead as a replacement for Paul Scholes. He added: 'Of course I've talked a lot with him in the holiday and also when we met up for friendly games with France at the end of the season. I told him how great it is to play for United and how important it would be for him to become of the biggest players in the world. 'I don't know how negotiations are at the moment, but he has a lot of clubs (interested in him) and he has to think. 'I just told him how good it would be for him coming here. He will have a nice welcome, and I can help as well because I'm French. I don't know what he's going to do yet. It was looking interesting but I don't know. We'll have to see. 'He said that it's a privilege a club like United want him but he has to think about his future and talk with his agent. I'm not Nasri, I'm not his agent or his dad. You'd have to ask him. 'But I would definitely tell him to come to United. Definitely. I made that little joke saying that he's a prince now but if he wants to be the king then he has to join United. But that's the reality, and I've told him that. 'I said, "If you want to win trophies you have to come here". In five years I've won 12 trophies, and I don't know if I'd have won more than that with another club. I just told him the truth.'
